DESCRIPTION
SC
SET UP/QUERY
SERIAL CONTROL
This command puts the drive into (SC=1) or takes the drive out of (SC=0) the Serial Control
Mode of operation. No motion execution commands will be accepted until the drive is in the
Serial Control Mode, although set up and query command may be issued at any time.
BK
SET UP/QUERY
ACTIVATE BRAKE
Enables (BK=1) or disables (BK=0) the brake override if the motor is so equipped.
RS
EXECUTION ONLY
RESET DRIVE
Resets the drive after any drive fault. This command has the same effect as using the push-
button reset.
LR
SET UP/QUERY
LINEAR RAMPS
Selects the linear (LR=1) or nonlinear (LR=0) method of ramping. The nonlinear method uses a
haversine ramp function when changing velocity. This results in slightly smoother ramp
endings, but requires more current during the middle stages of acceleration/deceleration.
CKX
QUERY ONLY
CHECKSUMS
Returns a hexadecimal checksum of the desired area of system memory:
0 – prom
1 – all non-volatile memory parameters (T-drive/PCM if present)
2 – PCM nvm only
3 – index/home info only
4 – program info only
The prom checksum returned should always be the same. The other checksums may change as
information is programmed.
